Ethereum Price Prediction as ETH Shoots Up 6.5% in 7 Days – How High Can it Go?
ETH, the cryptocurrency that powers the Ethereum blockchain, was last changing hands around $1,275, up around 6.5% in the last seven days according to CoinMarketCap.

To the upside, ETH bulls will be eyeing a test of the cryptocurrency’s 50-Day Moving Average at $1,335, 100-Day Moving Average at $1,400 and 200-Day Moving Average at $1,470.
